The figure is as shown by using the information in question and applying the parrellogram law

Now we know that the resultant is 10kg weight = 100N force vector
using basic trigonometry one can clearly say that
100/y = sin(180-150) = sin30 = 0.5
y = 200N whichis what we were required to find

Now we know that the resultant is 10kg weight = 100N force vector using basic trigonometry one can clearly say that
[100/y = sin(180-150) = sin30 = 0.5] y = 200N

Thanks and Regards
